Answer: It is answer C.
Step-by-step explanation: Because of the location and angle of the line, it intersects at 9 on the y axis and 1 on the x, therefore giving you 9 over 1
This question is referred to two similar triangles.
One triangle has sides x and x - 2.
The other triangle has the respective sides x + x + 5 and x - 2 + x + 1
Then you can state a proportionality relation between the sides>
[x + x + 5] / x = [x - 2 + x + 1] / [x - 2]
=> [2x + 5] / x = [2x - 1] / [x - 2]
=> (2x + 5)(x - 2) = (2x - 1)x
=> 2x^2 - 4x + 5x - 10 = 2x^2 - x
=> x - 10 = - x
=> 2x = 10
=> x = 10 / 2
=> x = 5
Answer: x = 5
13 is not the same as 1/3! The division symbol is not a symbol used to connect two numbers, it is used to find their quotient. For example, 6/2 would be like saying: You have 6 cookies, and 2 friends. How many cookies does each friend get? The answer is obviously not 62, it is 3! So, the exact quotient is 0.3 repeating. You could memorize this or use the fact that 0.9 repeating is 1.
X^2-4x=-2x+24
x^2-2x=24
x^2-2x-24=0
(x-6)(x+4)
Proof:
-6+4=-2
-6*4=-24
Final answer: (x-6)(x+4)
